Lightning and Rain

For the past two nights the storms have come about an hour before dark. Yesterday the whole sky lit up with a wonderful red orange glow. Tonight I looked out and saw all these people jumping and swimming in the river while the rain and lightning thundered around. I guess when you're wet you're wet. No worries about electrocution?  Maybe the risks are worth it.
The light, color, smell and sounds of this awesome country are incredible.

Just at sunset during a storm. Sometimes in the mornings the world has a blue haze.

These guys would take a running start and jump in and then all slide back up the bank to do it again

Sheet lightning and forked lightning, freight train collision sounds of thunder, nothing fazed them

Just after the rain when the colors are all deep and shiny

I loved the glint of the setting sun on the wet houses

Storms are rolling in the background, but the rain has stopped for a few minutes right now.
